What does Responsible AI look like when the information you're working with is deeply human, lived experiences, cultural knowledge, and Indigenous identity?
In our Episode Fourteen of Responsible AI in Action, Charles Dimov sits down with Conor Smith, Senior Partner, Senior Planner at , to talk about what it really takes to use AI ethically when the stakes are high, and the margin for error is essentially zero.
Conor's team works with Indigenous communities and purpose-driven organizations where sensitive information isn't just confidential, it's sacred. And they've had to make some hard calls: building a formal AI policy, restricting AI use around indigenous culture and language, and insisting on human review for every single output.
One of the most thought-provoking moments? Conor's argument that an AI system willing to say "I don't know" is actually more trustworthy than one that always has an answer. That kind of honesty is rare, and it matters enormously in high-trust environments.
If you work with sensitive data, serve communities where accuracy is non-negotiable, or are building AI governance for your organization, this episode is for you.
